There’s no reason fresh produce should go to waste. Billions of pounds of produce are going to waste in America. Feeding America member food banks around the country offer a sustainable solution. Feeding America is the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief organization. The Feeding America network distributes more than a half billion pounds of fresh produce per year that may otherwise go to waste—the equivalent of over 12,000 truckloads! Our Produce Program can pick up and distribute your excess inventory to 200 member food banks across the U.S., reducing your costs for storage, transportation and disposal. To learn more, please contact us at freshproduce@feedingamerica.org or 312.641.6606.
Feeding America and United Fresh have long partnered to prevent fresh produce from going to waste. Excess produce from this year’s show will be distributed to those in need by the Greater Chicago Food Depository, a member of the Feeding America network of food banks. Thanks to all exhibitors who donate this year. Learn more about the Greater Chicago Food Depository at www.chicagosfoodbank.org. To find out more about domestic hunger, visit our website at www.feedingamerica.org. ©2014 Feeding America. All rights reserved. Feeding America is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit recognized by the IRS.
